TIME Magazine declared their Person of the Year on Monday, and liberals are melting down over the announcement. Rather than choose a champion from the woke Olympics for the title, TIME selected an innovative entrepreneur who is a central figure in America’s latest space race: Elon Musk.
.@elonmusk made his money differently than most billionaires. Instead of a bunch of clever, safe investments, he made just a few spectacularly risky ones.
The sum total of those bets made him the world's richest person this year #TIMEPOY https://t.co/Qm8zInvB5s

As the TIME announcement notes, Musk is a rare billionaire, making his money very “differently” than most others. Times notes that Musk isn’t known for pursuing just one amazing idea, but several; not known for pursuing “clever, safe investments” but risky ones. The net effect of Musk’s work so far is to earn him the spot as America’s richest private citizen as well as launching a new generation of private spaceflight and sending automakers scrambling to catch up to his revolutionary new electric vehicle company.
Democrats despise the technology mogul, however, with socialists like Senator Elizabeth Warren calling Musk a freeloader despite the fact that he’s created literally thousands of U.S. jobs and is driving several new industrial frontiers.
Let’s change the rigged tax code so The Person of the Year will actually pay taxes and stop freeloading off everyone else. https://t.co/jqQxL9Run6

It’s *TIME* for Elon Musk to pay his fair share in taxes. https://t.co/cKTkOKDtpc

Other ‘Squad’ members such as representative Pramila Jayapal also attacked Musk, not on any real grounds, but probably because Musk doesn’t subscribe to the anti-American rhetoric of the Left.
And with that @time has lost all remaining credibility … what an absolute disgrace. https://t.co/46DnkG0Nee

In a year marked by record levels of pro-labor union organizing across the country, from John Deere to Amazon to Starbucks, @TIME honors a guy who revels in violating labor laws. https://t.co/tkkF3AR0sq

Despite nasty comments from MSNBC’s Katelyn Burns, there’s nothing embarrassing about recognizing Musk’s reshaping of the electric vehicle industry which was a failed sector before he reimagined it.
This is so embarassing https://t.co/u2afrglp9C

Responding to TIME in his interview, Musk contested that he was the “wealthiest private citizen on the planet,” saying that he believed Russian President Vladimir Putin to be “significant richer than me… I can’t invade countries and stuff.”
.@elonmusk is TIME’s 2021 Person of the Year.
See how the richest man on the planet is reshaping our world—and beyond #TIMEPOY https://t.co/kxujBpxSEG pic.twitter.com/McylFsiI5u

Musk’s disfavor from the Left is probably best explained by the billionaire’s refusal to bend the knee to woke identity politics as well as his skepticism surrounding the official COVID-19 narrative handed down from untrustworthy organizations such as the WHO and the U.S government.
